Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-Calif.) told MSNBC on Thursday that former White House communications director Hope Hicks will “have to tell us who she lied for” as she cooperates with the House Intelligence Committee.

“She also told me when I interviewed her that she had told lies for the president and when I asked her what she had lied about, she refused to testify and then the Republicans did not force her to actually give us an answer,” said Swalwell, who is a member of the House Intelligence Committee, which interviewed Hicks last year.

Swalwell said when he interviewed her previously, Hicks seemed to have a lot of information on the Trump campaign and administration.

“She is, just like Michael Cohen, a witness who has seen a lot,” he said.

An Intelligence Committee spokesperson told The Hill on Wednesday that Hicks will cooperate with the committee and provide documents.

The committee requested documents from 81 individuals and entities, including Hicks, as part of a probe into President Trump’s businesses, campaign and administration.

Republicans committee aides told The Hill Monday that at least eight individuals and entities have already provided 8,195 pages of documents relating to the probe.
